I'm sure that unless you live in the middle of nowhere you will have a Dodge dealer near you once they figure out this Fiat deal. My town lost a family owned Dodge dealer that has been selling them for over 75 years. Word is tha they are going to reopen Dodge at the local Jeep/ Chrysler dealer. They want all the bands under one roof..i looked at a few of the closing dealers on the list and i didn't see a dealer that was selling all 3 closed. Mind you i got tired of looking and didn't look at everyone but thats the info i heard. If anybody gives a hoot...lol

I live in southern Utah. Chrysler closed 10 dealerships in our state, and seven of those ten dealerships were all seven of the closest dealerships to me. It is now 250 miles to Salt Lake City, or 230 miles to Las Vegas to get to a Dodge dealership. That makes it almost 500 miles between dealerships, with me being right in the middle of that 500 miles..
